reports said Monday.

The Premier League giants have agreed to pay £80.75
million, with a further £4.25 million in add-ons, the BBC, Sky Sports and other
British media said ahead of the transfer window closing on Thursday.
The 22-year-old Antony could be the second player to
follow United manager Erik ten Hag from the Dutch champions to Old Trafford following
the arrival of defender Lisandro Martinez.
Tyrell Malacia, Martinez, Christian Eriksen, and
Casemiro have arrived so far this summer and Ten Hag is hoping to keep
Cristiano Ronaldo, despite the Portuguese wanting to leave to play Champions
League football.
The 37-year-old was on the bench for United’s 1–0
win at Southampton on Saturday before making a largely anonymous substitute
appearance in the second half.
United remain adamant that the five-time Ballon d’Or
winner is not for sale in the second season of his second spell with the club.
“We played with him, so we want him to stay. That is
what we want. I hope so,” Ten Hag said.
United will attempt to win a third successive
Premier League match at Leicester City on Thursday, hours before the transfer
window closes at 10pm GMT.
